Orchard Mesa Veterinary Hospital- Canone Clark, DVM

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to monitor your pet’s health at every life stage. During these exams, our team evaluates vital signs (temperature, heart and respiratory rates) and thoroughly checks their nose, mouth, eyes, skin, coat, joints, and limbs. We ensure your pet remains up to date on vaccines and preventive care, while establishing a health baseline for proactive wellness.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to safeguard your young pet’s health with vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus), deworming, and essential preventive care. These packages include parasite testing, initial vaccinations, and age-specific wellness exams to set your puppy or kitten up for a healthy life and provide guidance on growth monitoring, spay/neuter procedures, and dietary needs.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care program focuses on tailored wellness plans for pets aged 7+, including bi-annual exams, comprehensive lab work (bloodwork, urinalysis, thyroid testing), early cancer detection, and pain management. We design nutrition plans, monitor weight changes, and use diagnostics to detect kidney, liver, or hormonal issues early. Your senior pet’s quality of life is our top priority.

We provide Core Vaccinations essential for your pet’s protection, including Rabies, Distemper (canine), and Parvovirus (feline and canine). These vaccines are pivotal in preventing serious, life-threatening diseases, and we tailor vaccination schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and risk factors to ensure long-term immunity.

We include Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our preventative care programs, testing annually and recommending preventive medications to safeguard your pet from heartworm—a potentially fatal parasitic disease transmitted through mosquito bites.

Our team discusses dietary restrictions, treats, and weight issues during wellness visits and provides tailored recommendations for optimal health and longevity.

We administer Parasite Deworming treatments (e.g., roundworm, hookworm, whipworm) to pets as part of our preventative care protocols. Early deworming is critical, especially for puppies and kittens, and our team monitors your pet’s parasites through fecal testing and discusses regular prevention strategies.

We perform In-House Bloodwork including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect early-stage diseases (e.g., diabetes, liver/kidney issues), and enable prompt treatment. This lab work is essential for wellness exams, pre-surgical screening, and disease diagnostics, allowing us to provide proactive care.

Our Urinalysis procedures assess kidney and urinary tract health, helping identify infections, diabetes, or bladder stones that may not be visible during physical exams. Regular urinalysis is especially important for senior pets to catch age-related issues early.

We utilize advanced Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose conditions involving bones, joints, soft tissues, and internal organs. Our board-certified radiologists interpret X-rays for fractures, foreign objects, dental issues, and orthopedic problems, providing accurate and timely results.

Our clinic performs Ultrasound Imaging to examine internal organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, spleen) and pregnancies. It is a non-invasive tool used to diagnose tumors, cysts, fluid accumulations, and cardiac conditions. Many ultrasounds are performed in conjunction with bloodwork and X-rays for a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

Our Dental X-Rays detect problems below the gum line, such as root decay, abscesses, and fractures. Regular dental X-rays are critical for comprehensive oral health and often performed in combination with professional cleanings and extractions.
